Yes, I get this info just fine.

OK it is now #!/usr/bin/perl (as it is in the makefile)

OK here's the failing line:

@cd $(TMP); $(PERL) -p -i -e  's@^#!\s+perl.*@#!$(PERL)@' $(TOOLS)
$(BINBIN) $(BIN)

I seem to be missing the file that the "-e" option expects to find.

Many thanks for all the replies so far i'm certainly making progress!
